I'm terribly behind and the longer I wait the worse it's gonna get. ;) I hope to do a few "key" posts and then get back in the regular swing. I'm going to place them on the correct so things will be appearing in the past. I am still working on Henry's birth story. I want Kent to look over it before I post.

Walter Henry - you are one month old (6/26/09)

You weigh 10 lbs 2 oz.

You made your first trip to Conway on your one month birthday.

You visited Dr. Evans for a new patient check-up.

You've been to your first auction.

You sleep 3-4 hour stretches at night.

You've been fishing twice (ok you slept the whole time but we were there).

You can still wear most of your newborn clothes.

You are wearing XS diaper covers over preemie prefolds (I can't imagine a "real" preemie in them - they would be swallowed!)

You take a MAM pacificier.

You have been to conservation day with 4-H.

You helped Daddy celebrate his first Father's Day as a Father of Five.

You've been to all the good places to eat- Don Jose, Kelley's, and John B's.

You helped Griffin celebrate his 4th Birthday.

You are our most laid back baby so far.

You are adored by your sister and brothers. Griffin still calls you "New Baby Brother".

Yes, I'm breaking my Blog sabbatical for a promotion. What can I say - I love cloth diapering. I would love to try a Gro Baby. All in One dipes are very convenient. I use mostly prefolds and covers because Ben doesn't handle synthetic materials well. From what I've read the Gro Baby is a combination between cloth and disposable. I'm very interested and would love to give it a try.

I have plans to return and attempt to summarize what has been going on around here including a couple of birthdays and a birth day. Henry arrived on May 26th and Daddy caught him. His delivery was a home water birth after 4 cesareans.

About Me

I am a homeschooling, stay-at-home wife / mother to one fantastic man and 8 blessings from God! Kent and I have been married for 16 years. Our children include Madisyn (13), Tyler (12), Griffin (9), Ben (7) and Henry (5), Mary Claire (3), Liberty (2) and Felicity (1/14). We attend church at Lakeview Missionary Baptist where Kent is one of our pastors. We support people's rights to homeschool, home birth and run a home business. We try to live a natural life by making much of our food and trying to avoid trips to the doctor's office. I also enjoy learning about herbs, babywearing and cloth diapering.
